Waking up in the hospital means Emma Langston has had a bad day on the job. Waking up with no memory of how she got there, but a burning need to get back to whatever she had been doing, is even worse.

Detective Ryder Palladin and his partner have been part of staking out the Triple B bar because of suspected drug activity, When his partner, Pierce, discovers a badly beaten woman outside the bar's back door., they go on full alert. Finding her wallet, they know her name, and that she is a PI.Will she be able to fill them in on what, or who she was investigating when it all went south for her?

As Emma's foggy brain begins to clear, tiny details begin to emerge, but not the full scope of why she was at the seedy bar. When the attempts on her life start, she is clueless as to why. Can Ryder keep her safe when someone out there is just as determined to take her out?

With a new threat at the turn of seemingly every page, Lenora Worth has penned a romantic suspense worthy of the genre. Every time I thought Emma was safe, she either put herself back in danger, or the danger came hunting her. The twist when she finally gets her memories back, is well worth reading the book to find it.

Lenora Worth is one of my go-to authors. If she writes it, I will read it - she's that good. I definitely recommend this to readers of romantic suspense. As part of the Love Inspired series of books, there is a strong faith thread for those who appreciate that, however, those who are in it for the suspense and/or the romance, won't be disappointed, either.

Another wonderful and suspenseful book boy Lenora Work. There are many twists and turns in this book. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a wonderful read.

Ryder Palladin is a rancher and police detective. When Ryder and his partner find a woman beaten in an alley, he makes it his job to protect her. Turns out that the woman is Emma Langston, and she is a private investigator, but when she wakes up she doesn't remember anything.



Emma isn't a good patient, she is anxious to get back to work, even though she doesn't know what she was working on. Ryder brings her to stay with his family on the ranch, while they work together to get to the bottom of the case, and find out who is after Emma.



Emma and Ryder make a great team, and they are actually a lot alike, both are very driven workaholics who avoid relationships. Ryder's mother and sister, welcome Emma immediately, and his dog is instantly devoted to her.



Ryder is one of the god guys, and he's a cowboy to boot! He's a diligent crusader for justice, and he won't give up until the job is done. He admires Emma's tenacity, but he worries how to keep her safe.



Emma remembers her faith, even when she doesn't remember a whole lot else. She is a smart, independent woman. She's used to working alone, but she has to admit that it's nice to have Ryder around.



Fast paced and full of surprises, great interaction and fantastic characters. It was hard to put down, and had a great ending.

Emma is a PI on an investigation but it looks like she was knocked out getting too close to something and now shes suffering from amnesia. Detective Ryders partner found her and now he wants to help her out trying to figure out what she was getting too close to and even help her with her case after a couple of attempts were made on her life.

This had just what I loved in a good mystery suspense novel with a bit of romance in it. There was so much going on and twists and turns. It was so easy to get sucked up into a book like this. I loved getting to know what was going on when Emma slowly but surely try to work on getting her memory back. I loved the suspense of waiting for when the person who strike next and what was really going on why were they so adamant to taking her out. I also loved that thought there was a little bit of romance there wasn't enough to overpower or take over the book. There was just enough to show the two were interested and didn't get down and dirty which I appreciate. Overall a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

I liked the idea behind this story. It dealt with a few harder topics, amnesia being one of them. I don't want to say much and give the story line away but I did enjoy it. At times it seemed to drag on with things that didn't matter as much, but all at once it was character building. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good suspenseful mystery. We didn't know who until right at the end.

Eh... this book was just okay. Nothing to write home about, nothing really to remember either.

My biggest issue was that it just dragged on and on and on and on. The "romance" took 75% of the book to actually occur. There was a TON of wasted time that I think could have been moved along faster.

Undercover Memories by Lenora Worth is a gripping suspense. Ryder works vice and goes undercover. He doesn’t have relationships because of his obsession with working so much. His partner finds Emma unconscious at a location hey had been watching. She had been left for dead. Emma cannot remember what happened. Slowly her memories start returning and with them come some shocking twists to the story. I loved it.

Admittedly I could not bring myself to like Emma. She got on my nerves. She was too reckless.

I would still recommend this book because the mystery outweighed any irritation I had with Emma.

The secondary characters were my favorites. I would love to see Nancy (Ryder’s mom) get her own story even. Loved her. She had been an RN and helped take care of Emma and she knew how to protect her family. Stephanie was Ryder’s sister and she added the right about of teenage flair to the story.

In addition we have Pierce who is Ryder’s partner. They have a good relationship and he was a great addition to the story.

Lenora is a fantastic writer. Her storyline for Undercover Memories was top notch.

Emma Langston is a PI who is attacked while working on a case, and that leads to amnesia. With the help of Detective Ryder Palladin, she tries to regain her memories so she can discover who she was looking for prior to her injury. Will she succeed?

The mystery is solid, and there are a few unexpected twists along the way. The romance develops at a realistic pace for the length of the story. Worth creates a plausible path for Emma and Ryder to follow along the way toward a HEA, and the incorporation of the Christian message is done is a way that doesn’t overwhelm the story.

Fast paced and thrilling to read. I couldn't put this book down. The plot and story line kept me on the questions of who and why, like a good mystery should. You as the reader will begin to piece it all together with the characters, yet the author can throw some great wows into the solving of this crime. The romance was budding like a sweet romance should be, it was slow yet passionate. I really enjoyed that both characters had a good dose of faith and were strong in that aspect.

Undercover Memories was a story that dealt with amnesia, although that element of the storyline didn't last long. I enjoyed seeing the MC regain bits of her memory and there were a few surprises that I didn't see coming. The mystery was okay. I didn't really care about it, but it was a quick story.

The characters were fine. I liked how Emma was so set on completing her mission (which I won't say what it was, as that would spoil the story).

All in all, I liked Undercover Memories, but it is not a favorite Love Inspired Suspense.

This is an amnesia story; thankfully, this plot device didn't last long in the book. What follows is a pretty good mystery marred by the bickering between the two main characters. Bickering to the extent that the ending for me was unbelievable. Instead, I though..."doomed".

"Undercover Memories" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. The undercover detective rescues and protects Emma, a private investigator, from repeated attacks. She initially can't remember why she was asking questions at the bar where she was beaten, but she feels an urgency to go back there again. She recovers her memory pretty quickly, only to realize that she's trying to find a kidnapped teenager and time may be running out. She has little to go on and feels desperate, which makes her reckless.

The detective just wants her to cooperate with him as he helps her, but they're constantly frustrated with each other. They're also physically attracted, despite personality conflicts and past relationship hangups. The race to find clues and save the teenager kept my interest, but the romance just didn't work for me. They can barely work together as a team. After knowing each other for only a few days, the story ended with a scene that basically goes: you want to try dating despite everything? Yup. What about let's get married? Yes!

There was no sex or bad language. The Christian element was Emma's trust that God had a purpose to everything.

This was a pretty good book. Emma is a PI working on a case in Dallas. Ryder and his partner find her after some goons try to kill her. Problem is, with the blow to the head, Emma can't remember the case she is working on, just that it is important. Ryder is determined to help the headstrong PI that may have caught his attention.

I can honestly say, I wasn't expecting the investigation to be what it was, but it was well written. My heart broke for Emma though I could have strangled her a few times with her rash choices. Overall it was a good, quick read. There is action, a bit of romance and some mystery.

It was a 3/5 for me.
